Five Million Tides is the story of Cornwall's Helford River from
the Stone Age to the dawning of the twenty-first century. From
prehistoric pioneers and their megalithic successors, this account
goes on to expose a remarkable truth: the Helford became one of
Europe's most significant waterways during the Iron Age and Roman
periods. Despite being mainland Britain's southernmost safe haven,
it has not always been a place of good fortune - once a thriving
seat of Celtic Christianity the river would ultimately become more
synonymous with lawless seafarers. Nor could it be relied upon for
sanctuary from every storm, as the graves of mariners in its
village churchyards attest. Although now overshadowed by its more
famous sibling estuaries, the Helford is an enigmatic beauty of the
family whose rich past deserves wider knowledge.
